Bob,

Yes, I understand that some Lipno church records are in the EZA.  Is is possible a set of duplicate books ended up in EZA Berlin?

There also are some Lipno church records in the Wloclawek branch of the Torun Archives.  The Pradziad shows Evangelical birth records from 1809 to 1906 but it does not state on their wesite that any have been filmed, although some years (years 1808 to 1865) were microfilmed in 1969 and 1970 by the LDS when the records were in the Bydgoszcz archives at that time. 

I believe the majority of the church records which were in Congress Poland area, are in Polish State Archives.  But I could be wrong too.

  Hi all:
      I'm new here & started looking over recent past  emails.  
   
      Re the Subject line,  I'm surprized that EZAB.DE  wasn't mentioned..
      EZA has (suposedly) all the eastern Europe Lutheran  church records 
  from the
      days when Germans, & their churches,  were  expelled from Polish & 
  other 
      territories after WWII.
   
      I recently found their site,  emailed them with my  gfather's name, 
  birth city
      (it was wrong) & birthday (it was wrong  too)  his brother's info 
  (which was
      Lipno & right), and two siblings names (I had  just discovered 
  searching Ellis
       Island records.)
      They emailed back in less than 24 hours with the names  of of his 8 
  siblings! 
       They mentioned several Krampitz families in Lipno,  but the given 
  names matched,
        though they couldn't find my  gfather's.
      When I gave them the correct names of his parents  (they had a 
  different one)
      it  took them another 24 hours to find my  gfather's record, his 
  mother's death,
      and the remarriage of his father.
       2 hrs & copying charges came to a bit over  100Euros.  Once I 
  confirmed that 
       I wanted copies,  they mailed  the  package & I received in about a 
  week+ later.  
       Which was  *BEFORE* I sent the wire  transfer.
       (& have the right bank & there's no  fees!)..
      
       Check them out before you go to any archives that  want payment before 
  they
        tell you anything.

  P.S.  I  have new information for the master list once I figure  out how to 
  add all
        that info in a form that's  wanted.
